Chapter 87: Demolition and Renovation of the Small Ming Tombs
Golden silk nanmu is an extremely precious wood, the texture is tight, warm and moist, thousands of years do not rot and do not change color, in ancient times only the royal family is qualified to use, ordinary people dare to use it, that is called overstepping, is the sin of killing the head.
Something made of golden silk nanmu is very sought-after in the antique market, even if it is a string of Buddhist beads, it can be sold for a sky-high price.
If anyone can have a set of furniture made of golden silk nanmu, they will have enough to eat and drink in this life.
Unfortunately, after a long period of felling, the golden silk nanmu is close to extinction, and there is no real new golden silk nanmu on the market for a long time.
The antique market circulates from old buildings and old furniture in various places, and the price is more expensive than gold.
However, although the overall texture and color of this Bogu frame are slightly mottled, there is no break point, and it is completely integrated, and it is actually made of whole wood, rather than pieces of broken wood to make up such a shelf.
Chang Xian even saw that the color of several rows of surrounding trees in the Bogu frame was dark and cloudy, and there were hidden mud lines, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
These pieces of wood, at a glance, can be seen to be removed from the coffin of the tomb, and there are also a few black wooden corners dotted at the four corners of the shelf, which look like ink spots, this is gloomy wood.
Some golden silk nanmu has been buried in the ground for thousands of years for various reasons, and the wood has been carbonized into a jet black color due to lack of oxygen and high pressure, forming a gloomy wood, and the rarity is still above the golden silk nanmu.
Even if there is really a real Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup on it, the price may not be higher than this huge Bogu shelf.
Chang Xian couldn't help but be surprised, with the rarity of golden silk nanmu, how did the old man get it?
The old man said to Nunu on the right hind foot of Bogujia: "This is made by that master, I don't have that ability." ”
Chang Xian went around to the side and saw a chapter engraved on the wooden leg, and it was a little familiar: Yuyan Mountain House.
This is Qianlong's study in the Summer Palace.
Hey, Chang Xian once received a small thing from the Jade Yan Mountain House, and later sold it to the big head in the capital.
Chang Xian said in surprise: "Is the rumor of demolishing the big and changing the small one true?" ”
The old man was silent, his expression a little weird.
Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there has been a legend: "Lord Qianlong, the heart is unfair, demolished the big and changed the small Ming Tombs." ”
Jinsi Nanmu is almost a perfect wood, so it was used on a large scale by the Ming Dynasty royalty.
In the fourth year of Yongle, Zhu Di "edict to build the north in May next year. Beijing Palace", many places in the Forbidden City have used golden silk nanmu.
Not only does the Forbidden City need to use golden silk nanmu, but also the Ming Ming Tombs, which also uses a large number of golden silk nanmu.
With the two-hundred-year timber cycle of golden silk nanmu, by the time of Qianlong, golden silk nanmu has become a scarce product.
With the urine of a perfect old man, how can this be endured?
In 1785, Qianlong had a sinister intention to repair the Ming Ming Tombs, and he asked to adopt the method of "demolishing the big and changing the small", so that there were a lot of more materials, and the golden silk nanmu was naturally among them.
According to incomplete statistics, there are 238 large and small nanmu transported from this repair.
Many people speculate based on this that in this "demolition and renovation", Qianlong used a lot of Nanmu from Zhu Di's tomb to build his own coffin.
Now it seems that his coffin did not use so much golden silk nanmu, and he could make other objects.
Dig other people's graves to build your own graves, in the sky and on the ground, domineering side leakage.
In 1928, Sun Dianying's department blew up Qianlong's Yuling, and the body of the old man was thrown out by the soldiers.
It is recorded in the "Compilation of Tanglin Robbery Cases" that after the soldiers and bandits left, the mausoleum guards came to clean up the mess and "picked up one rib, two foot bones, and one knee bone".
The coffin of the golden silk nanmu also seems to be unable to resist the karma of the Heavenly Dao.
Perfect, get a good name!
After a long silence, the old man asked, "Do you know what a shot is now?" ”
"It is the hearts of people who shoot overlay!"
Chang Xian replied lightly: "This is not a treasure appraisal, but a psychological trick." ”
As I said before, the test of shooting is not the ability to appreciate antiques, but a psychological warfare.
The thirty antiques on the shelves are amazingly imposing, which is an ingenious psychological suggestion.
As soon as most people see the Bogu frame and are hinted at, they will naturally think that the choice is limited to these 30 antiques, and they will not be distracted when shooting, and they will not think about it.
But thinking carefully about the old man's words before he started, he clearly pointed to Bogujia and said, "Shoot the most expensive thing among them." ”
The old man never left out the wooden frame itself.
Therefore, as long as there is a fixed opinion of "thirty pieces" in the mind of the person who participates in the gamble, it will definitely lose.
This is the psychological trap set by the old man.
The more distracted the gambler, the worse he will lose.
When I shot for the first time, I was often stuck to my own "reason", barely reading thirty antiques, and I was impetuous, and I didn't have the heart to shoot out the subject's mind at all, and I couldn't imagine that this Bogu frame was hidden in the title.
The second time he calmed down completely, the Bogu frame actually appeared in the spiritual sense, let him notice the strangeness of the material of the Bogu frame, and then carefully pondered the old man's wording, and finally explored his hidden mystery - the value of the golden silk nan wood shelf must be more valuable than other antiques.
Because "most expensive" refers to price, not value.
The value has historical value, cultural relics value, etc., and there will not be much fluctuation, but the price is fluctuating.
Once anything comes in, there is a great deal of unpredictability, and the collection can become an investment, an investment can become speculation, speculation can become a bubble, and the bubble will eventually burst.
Take the Huanghuali that has risen wildly in recent years, who knew that it was sold as medicinal materials more than ten years ago, and was even burned by the people of Hainan as chopping wood?
A blue and white plum vase of the third generation of the Qing Dynasty, which was auctioned for 2 million yesterday, may only be auctioned for 1.5 million today.
Later, in 2010, a Qianlong vase found in the suburbs of London fetched a whopping 550 million yuan, and the mystery buyer was said to be from China.
Two years later, when the sky-high vase reappeared at auction, it had already lost half of its price.
Therefore, if you want the result to be convincing, there must be one of the objects that is far superior to the others, and there must be no disagreement due to price fluctuations.
That's easy to do, the price of the golden silk nanmu Bogu frame can be determined, even if the other objects are genuine to the generation, and what thing will definitely surpass it?
Combined with discourse traps and concealment, the answer is imminent.
It can be seen that in order to break this situation, what is most needed is not the professional level of treasure appreciation, or even the concentration without distractions, but the tranquility of exploring the trap.
"Master, how many days have I been with you?" Chang Xian asked.
There are no nails in the mountains, and he doesn't know how many years he has come, and he now feels as if he is new from beginning to end.
"Nine days."
